I have links installed yet I've gone wrong somewhere!
I have tried in vain many times and continuously for two days to get this running. I think it would be wonderful for our community site to use. I have put the links.cfg up at http://www.toronto2.com/links.txt
The build_root_url,new,cool,ratings I have changed from how I originally had them at "http://www.Toronto2.com/links/pages". Anyhow I really didn't wan't to bother anyone but I will never figure this out on my own. I don't know how to set the admin password so you can easily access the Toronto2.com/cgi-bin/links/admin/admin.cgi

My humble thanks for any help. My question in particular is.....when I try to add a site it says that I am at the wrong place to do so and tells me to go to the site?! Second when I try to access the new & cool etc from home or elsewhere the http is something like toronto2.com/links/pages/new<%build_root_url%>/new which doesn't work of course. My thanks for your advice and attention.
Sincerely,
Ritchie

Also I must add this so not to confuse the knight who decides to help me. I have built in my cgi-bin a duplicate pages folder hoping things might work that way. They didn't and the scripts are actually calling toronto2.com/links/pages not toronto2.com/cgi-bin/links/pages
Thanks,
Ritchie S.

Hi Ritche!

Code:
# PATH and URL of Pages to be built. No Trailing Slash.
$build_root_path = "/home/contact/toronto2.com/links/pages";
$build_root_url = "http://toronto2.com/links/pages";


Should it not read;

Code:
"/home/contact/links/pages";

Just wondered why you have included toronto2.com - when that is a absolute path field.

I have 40 odd websites running out of the "contact" folder. How's life in New Zealand. One of the few places I really want to visit this time around!

Hi Ritchie!

Understood! New Zealand is fine and you are welcome to come down to the land of sheep and the America's Cup.

Try using the url address instead of root_url/new etc and see what happens.
